Comparison of Apple iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4
Few Days ago only Apple iPhone 4 is launched and now it is in market available for purchase. Apple 4 is the thinnest smartphone offering from Apple, and has included a bunch of most advanced features and hardware specifications. On the first day only Apple may have sold more than 1.5 million iPhone 4s. While Apple sold 1 million iPhone 3G units in the first weekend it went on sale in 2008. Apple 3Gs is also good but lacking somewhere compare to Apple 4. Here we are going to compare both of these highly demanded models.
Size and weight - iPhone 4 is 24 per cent thinner than its predecessor at 9.3mm instead of 12.3mm. It's also ever so slightly wider by 3.5mm. In weight, iPhone 4 is slightly heavier at 137g instead of 135g.
Display Screen – The Screen size of the both phone are same. Both have 3.5-inch diagonal Screen. But in resolution it differs. The iPhone 3GS's LCD display has a resolution of 320x480 pixels. iPhone 4's LED backlit IPS LCD display has a 640x960 resolution at 326ppi and an 800:1 contrast ratio. iPhone 4's Retina Display radiates over the iPhone 3GS. Looking closely to the iPhone 3Gs text and icons are a bit more jagged compare to iPhone 4.
Power and battery – New iPhone 4 is improved a lot in terms of battery life. Steve Jobs claims a 40 per cent improvement for the iPhone 4 over the 3GS. 3Gs has Up to 5 hours talk time / data on 3G, 12 hours on 2G talk time while iPhone 4 has Up to 7 hours talk time on 3G, 14 hours on 2G.
Storage Capacity – iPhone 4 is only available with 16 GB and 32 GB while iphone 3Gs is available in 8GB also.
Camera & Video Recording – iPhone 4 is very much improved in its camera feature. It is not as good as otherbest camera phones. But it is far better while compare to iPhone 3Gs. iPhone 4 has 5 megapixel of camera instead of 3 megapixel and the addition of an LED flash which can also be used for the video. iPhone 4 also adds a front-facing camera for FaceTime Wi-Fi video calls and more.
3GS supports video recording at VGA (30fps) and iPhone 4, as predicted, pokes a finger in the eye of devices like the Flip HD, with its own HD (720p, 30fps) recording.
Operating System - The iPhone 3GS currently runs version 3.1 OS. However iPhone 4 will be released operating on iOS 4. iOS 4 allows MultiTasking. You can run your favorite third-party apps and switch between them instantly without slowing down the performance of the foreground app or draining the battery unnecessarily.
